Right In Front of Your Eyes
I Won!
7 Weeks Later
Aurora's POV
I throw up the contents of my stomach for the third time this week. Any normal person would think that it is just the nerves of the wedding getting to them, but well I don't really get nervous and I happen to know that I'm pregnant again. I haven't told anyone yet, not even Liam because we have to focus on the wedding right now.
"Aurora? Are you okay in there?" Rose asks from outside the bathroom door.
"Yea I just think I ate something funny." I respond back as I flush the toilet and go and brush my teeth to get the nasty taste out of my mouth.
"Do you want saltine crackers or some ginger ale?" She asks me.
"Some ginger ale sounds good." I say as I open the door and smile at her.
"It's a good thing that you are the last one to get their hair and make up done because otherwise your vomiting would have ruined it." Rose says with a smile.
"Yea, good thing" I say and look down at my hands.
"You're hiding something! Spill!" Rose says as she pushes me back into the bathroom.
"Rose! What are you doing?" I ask as I struggle to get away from her.
"Something has been off with you for the past couple weeks. What's up? Are you afraid that you and Liam aren't going to last under the pressure of fame?"
"No, no! It's not that… I don't want to ruin the moment of the wedding." I say hoping to get her off my back.
"No! Spill now! I won't tell anyone, I swear!" Rose says as she holds up her hand, like scout's honor.
"Okay but Liam doesn't know about this yet!" I warn her.
She pretends to zip her lips.
"I'm pregnant… again." I say and see a smile slowly break on Rose's face. "Rose say something!" I urge.
"I'm so happy for you! Chasity is going to have a little brother or sister! Oh I hope it is a girl so we can totally ship Elliot and the little one together! EEEPPP!" Rose screeches and starts to jump up and down.
"Calm down Rose! I don't want the whole world to know!"
"I'm sorry! Wait! Why haven't you told Liam yet?" She asks confused.
"I just don't want him to worry, that's all. I will tell him tonight sometime. I promise!" I say with a smile.
"Okay! Let's get you all dolled up now though!" Rose says as she drags me out of the bathroom to the main room to get my hair and makeup done.
After my hair is done I look and see that all the other girls have gotten dressed in their bridesmaid's dresses.
"Awe! You guys look so pretty!" I say as I hug, Perrie, Eleanor, Rose and Nici.
"Come on! We have to get you in your dress, you only have an hour before the ceremony starts." Perrie says as she drags me to the closet where my dress is.
I put on my dress and I look in the mirror. I don't even recognize myself, I look like I just stepped out of a fairytale book. I daze into the mirror until I hear a little girl say "Mama" I turn and see Chasity wobbling up to me in her dress. She looks so cute. I pick her up and hoist her on my waist.
"Hi sweetie! Does Mama look pretty?" I ask and Chasity grabs my face and smiles.
"Aurora honey. It's time to go." My dad says as he offers his arm for me to take. I smile and put Chasity down and grab my bouquet.
My dad and I are waiting for the church doors to open so we can begin to descend down the aisle. My dad turns to me and says "I'm glad that it's Liam you're marrying, because I know you will be happy with him."
I smile and say "Thanks Dad". The doors open and we start walking down the aisle and I look at Liam, his smile brings that glimmer in his eyes that I realize that I bring it out. This is exactly how I used to dream of the day that I would marry Liam, everything is like I am living in a fairytale and I am in the middle of it.
We reach the end of the aisle and my dad hands over my hand to Liam and walks over to the pew where my Mum is sitting with Chasity. I look up into Liam's eyes and I feel the warm feeling running through my veins, it feels like home.
The ceremony flies by and it is time to say our vows, I go first.
"Liam, you have been my best friend since we were 5. I didn't know what love was then but now that I do I realize that I have loved you since the day at the park. You are the father of my child, and I can honestly say that I would have it no other way. I have been imagining the day which I would marry you for years, but I honestly didn't think that it would ever come true. You make me the person I want to be, you bring joy to everyday of my life. I love you today and I know that I will love you tomorrow and every day hereafter." I say and I see a tear run down Liam's face.
"Aurora, Auri, I promise to love you forever. I knew I couldn't live a day without you and I can finally say that I don't have to. You are my rock in a world full of water, you are my sunshine in the dark, you are every breath of fresh air that I breathe in. I promise to take care of you and to be the perfect person you need to be beside you in your life. I have been with you in sickness and health, for richer for poorer, and you are the only person who sees all of me and I could never tell you a lie because telling you a lie would be like lying to myself. You are my other half and with you I am whole." Liam finishes his vows and I swear if I didn't have waterproof make up on I would look like a raccoon.
The pastor says "You may now kiss the bride" and Liam leans in and gives me a soft kiss on my lips. The whole sanctuary claps and soon we are heading back down the aisle.
The reception went by faster than the ceremony. The cake looked perfect, the music was fantastic (thanks to Simon pulling some strings) and everyone looked like they were having a good time. Niall's speech was the cutest thing ever. He got up on stage and a screen came down for the projector and he said, "Hello everyone! So I have known Liam for 6 years now and I have to say that he is probably one of the nicest guys I know, except when you try and hit on his new wife, I have done it and I am pretty sure that if she didn't stop him he would have killed me. I have known Aurora for a couple months less than I know Liam because hid her away from all of us but I noticed that you can tell that when Liam is at his happiest is when he is with Aurora. So I have this clip from about 5 years ago when Liam broke up with Danielle and I have to say that this is the most romantic break up I have ever seen." Niall rolled the tape from his phone.
“Oh I missed you so much! Oh and yesterday Niall and Harry were playing this horrible prank on me. They told me that you wrote all those love songs for someone else, and that she means the world to you. That is just so silly because I am your everything!” She was looking hopeful into Liam's eyes.
“Danielle… they weren’t playing a prank on you” He says in almost a whisper.
“What… what do you mean?” Liam couldn’t even look at her.
“None of the songs are about you, and I hate to tell you this but you aren’t even close to my everything… I am so sorry I mainly dated you to help me get over her. I do like you but she is like that breath of air in my lungs after being underwater for 2 minutes. She makes me happier than someone who has been paralyzed from the waist down for 10 years finally being able to move his leg. Without her is like being tortured by breaking every rib in at least 20 different places making it almost impossible to be alive. So I am sorry that you aren’t her because no one even comes close! She is more important to me than my family, even my own life. I just don’t think that this is going to work out anymore, I need to go apologize for being a huge jack ass to her.” The camera turned to Harry who was smiling the biggest smile and he looked like he would start jumping up and down any minute.
"Harry do ya wanna make a bet on when Liam and Aurora are going to get married?" Niall asks Harry.
"Yea I say the day that she turns 18." Harry smiles thinking that he is going to win.
"I don't know I think they are going to wait I think sometime around when they are 22." Niall says.
"You're on!" Harry says and offers his hand to the unseen Niall.
"Harry I hate to break it to you but, I won!" Niall said with a gloating smile. "But anyways congrats Liam and Aurora you guys can make anyone believe in love" Niall finished and went back to sit down.
After the reception ended Liam, Chasity and I got into the limo and went home. We decided that we don't really want a honeymoon because we would rather spend time as a whole family so we are going to go on a family vacation instead.
While in the limo Liam turns to me and says, "You have been acting funny all day."
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well for starters you refused to drink any champagne and it is your favorite kind, and you looked like you were going to throw up a couple times." Damn he is really observant.
"I was going to wait to tell you this after vacation so we could relax, but I'm pregnant." I say with a smile as I turn to him.
"Seriously?" He says with a bigger smile than the one I gave him.
"Yea, I found out about a week ago. I didn't want to tell you because of the wedding coming up and all, but I swear I was going to tell you after vacation, I just didn't want you to worry." I say with a guilty face.
"I'm so happy! I get to be a Dad again!" Liam leans in and gives me a kiss. Right now I am the happiest that I have ever been and I didn't think that was possible.
